Have a friend with a really nice 24 Hallett closed bow they are listing on craigslist rather than here or on Boattrader for a soft 24k, but getting no calls. Is it because no one uses craigslist ( I admit I never heard of them), the used boat market has already gone down the toilet, or is the price out of line?...

Craigslist is good for smaller things. I am not so sure about selling a boat or a car/truck. Its great for selling random things though.
I know of at least 10 or 12 boats that were bought and sold on CL. As with most classified sites and the auction sites, people are looking to get a good deal. On top of that, the boat market is pretty flooded with boats these days so it's pretty darn soft, definitely a buyer's market.

i have had boats listed in the boat traders, recyclers and just about everywhere else. craigslist is where they all ended up selling from. in the past year i have sold 2 boats, a 1970 cadillac, a 1977 k5 blazer (which is now used on a mtv show), i swear by that site.

My buddy sold his Porche Carrera in one day on Craigslist in San Diego. I have sold a number of things there and they go quick if priced right.
Have you posted here in spam? Let's see it!!

I was looking at a blue and white 1987 Hallett 240 in the spring for about that price. It was for sale forever with no action because it had a 460/OMC in it. Price would depend on the motor/drive/condition obviously.
Is this it?

Craig's list is huge in the Bay Area, I've sold a ton of things on it. Makes the Recycler look like it's little bitch. Craig's list isn't as popular in other big cities, but catching on.
read the "Best of Craigslist" sometime, talk about some funny shiat! :D
